You're in Queensland, aren't you, She? I lived there for a couple of years and the humidity in Brisbane was dire... I'm working in the Kimberley now and was working in Arnhem Land (Gove, NT) a year or two back, so I've really had to come to terms with stinking hot and wet . It's always nice to come home to Perth between swings and even our hottest heat doesn't bother me now, because at least it is dry.

Nope, I'm in our land's great (but small) capital. I wouldn't know the heat you've experienced down here Fanny.

My 2 cents - I think what the Government is doing in the aboriginal communities is appalling. Throwing money at them and calling it an "intervention" isnt going to solve the drug and alcohol abuse and the sexual abuse that is rife and condoned. They need to get in there are educate the youth and provide training and job opportunities to stop the repetition of these horrible things. And they need to give the land back to its traditional owners, especially in NT. Theres nothing to be done with all that desert anyway, just give it back darnit!

Anyway thats my rant for the day

I'm quite a lot Indian....and you've offended me!! Where's the political correctness, Donna?!? lol. And I thought "aboriginal" was interchangable with "indiginous" when it came to describing a population?? I'm no anthropologist, so that could be totally, totally wrong, though!

And She....I took your point about posting / taking down pics. That seems pretty sensible. I also kinda wish I had taken more to be able to document my weight loss.

Well us Aussies (well actually the English when they settled here) couldn't come up a unique name for the natives here, so they called them aborigines and that stuck as what they are called to this day.

And about the photos - sensible/paranoid. Same difference really, right?

I am addicted to the scale as well. I am not getting on it tomorrow though. damn Halloween candy!

I want to go to Australia!

There is your number 1 reason to come to Australia. We don't have Halloween!

Lulu - the opposite seasons are interesting, aren't they? It's hot during Christmas in Australia. That's wild!!

A hot Christmas is great fun. Especially if you're near a beach at all. I'm quite looking forward to a Chicago white christmas some time in my future.

If I sign on and see one more new political thread, I think I am going to . I mean, seriously, can't they just put this stuff in one of the other twenty threads that are already going.

OK, rant over.

I always forget about the time difference. Sorry, good evening then.

Obviously not.

Another snowy morning - but it is Thursday - yeah!!

scales - don't own any; don't believe in harbouring the enemy within my house; instruments of torture are not my idea of house accoutrements.

Aussie - would LOVE to visit; originally was debating between this surgery or a once in a lifetime trip to Aus. Obviously I chose the surgery; perhaps someday I'll be able to afford to travel to the far east.

Aboriginals, Indians, Native Americans, First Nations...regardless of the term used, there is (or should be) a embarrasment/guilt over their treatment over history.

Politics - not in this thread, please!

[losingjusme 12]

No, no, no! No political talk in here please.... pretty please with cherry on top?

ummm .. yeah... you never know who might wander in here !!! EEEEK!!!

Pre-surgery I got Peanut Butter filled M&M's. OMG they were killer!!! After all these Protein Shakes, I'm pretty much over chocolate right now tho. PJTP - I'm down 16.5 pounds. Woohoo!

My scale is so weird. First it said I weighed 0-wow. Then it came back -21.5, then -16.5. Couldn't imagine I'd lost 11.5 overnight in Water weight so I'm going with the 16.5 - only time I'm "conservative." Har har I think I'm going to take advantage of Linens n Things going out of business (aww sad) and get a new one. Any suggestions?
